Twelve years in New York and San Francisco. On location in forty-three states and nine countries. A 4000 sq. ft. "South of Market" studio in San Francisco. Clients such as: IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems, Pacific Bell, Bank of America, Chevron and Shell Oil Co. This was Ed's bio up to August 31, 1989. Then came a radical change.

Ed sold his San Francisco studio and moved to Carmel, California. He needed a change, a more simple relaxed lifestyle in a less urban area. Change he got. Between 1989 and 1992, his work base evolved from hi-tech/banking/oil industry to the produce companies of the Salinas Valley, and then to the rest of the agriculture industry of California.

Today, Ed is the premier photographer of California agriculture, produce and produce related food. Adept equally in his Carmel studio or on location, working with high resolution digital cameras, from natural light to major interior lighting setups, from the laboratory...to planting...to harvesting...to the production facility...to the supermarket...to the dinner table, with every step in between, including the board of directors. Ed has done it all...many times.

In 1996 Ed founded AGStockUSA, now AgStock Images, an agricultural specialty stock photo agency, which has become the premier and fastest-growing agricultural stock photo agency in the world.

Ed resides with his wife, Jeannie and son, Zachary, in Carmel Valley, California, just five minutes from the world famous Carmel-by-the Sea. His home and studio sit on a secluded one-acre pine and oak-covered ridge top. Ed's passion, besides family and agriculture photography, is downhill skiing and off-trail backpacking / mountain climbing in the high country of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
